How did it get on her report?

September 1, 1995

Ellen
wanted to apply for credit and decided it would be wise to order her
credit report before doing so. She was shocked to find the word
"disabled" on the report. Even though she was disabled, she didn't
think that type of information was supposed to find its way onto credit
reports. She's right. Ellen asked the local credit bureau how the
information got there. They claimed a former employer had reported it,
and that they simply record what others tell them. The local credit
bureau is affiliated with TRW. We referred Ellen to someone within TRW
to help her remove the "disabled" designation from the report. 02-290-96c
